Waterfall at Blaen y Glyn, Talybont on Usk, Brecon Beacons, Wales

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTOGRAPH

This lovely little falls is just one along the route of a signposted circular walk at Blaen-y-glyn, near Talybont-on-Usk. I was drawn to the wonderful pattern made by the swirling water in the pool at at the foot of the falls. This photo is memorable to me for two reasons; my walk through the Blaen-y-glyn woods was punctuated with a pair of memorable events. First I slipped on a wet rock and almost fell ten feet into a pool. I survived with no more damage than a bruised bottom, but my tripod fell over and damaged my camera. It would still work (thank you Nikon), but it wouldn't switch off unless I removed the battery. Not ideal, but it allowed me to continue photographing. I'll share the other memorable event in my description of another waterfall on the route.
